The opening scene

Now we have decided on a plot and know our characters, we need to plan our opening scene
This is out basic plan for the opening scene 
1. Watch gangs arriving – cut ins of feet running and hands holding weapons.

2. Cut to production company introduction
3. Fighting – hand held camera, shaky. Over top of scene – names of group
4. Dialogue between main character and villain – see gun pointed at main character
5. Black out – hear gunshot, noise fades, film title appears on screen
6. Fades into next scene – main character and brother talking – establishing situation. Over top of scene – actor names

We will also need to plan our opening scene in more detail, including the camera angles and settings.

Here is a more detailed plan for our opening scene

We have decided that for our opening scene we need 3 locations, an alleyway/path that can be used for the gangs to run through, a rural area where we can stage our fight scene and a plain room that could be used as a visitors room in a prison.
